Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provided 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility performed well in our short-term care category. Indeed, we gave it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our most elite grades. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The next area we looked at was long-term care. This facility received an above average long-term care score, with a grade of B+ in the area. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.70326 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the last area we looked at, we found that this nursing home earned a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from government inspectors. It earned a decent score in inspections with a grade of B-. This facility didn't have any major weak links. Our inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
